Survival is overrated. I only do it because it is amusing. But not everyone is sufficiently in command of their facilities to identify life as their muse. So a Smithian question, why do you persist?
Pitiful are those who survive for any other reason than amusement. For some it is a matter of fear. For some it is duty. For some it is a paradoxical torment they call passion. Why do you trouble yourselves?
Most living things do not choose to be alive, or to fight to stay alive. Most living things are simply born that way. And the boundary between what is living and what is not ... is quite simply vacuous, when we realise that we are only as free as the things we make.
